hype?

weirdly even after all the build-up this season has been doing, I'm not really clear on what the BIG EVENT(s) this finale surely must have in it will be. I assume there'll be something going down in Harrenhal with all the various forces converging there and Daemon faffing about all season

I can't believe they ended it like that lol. This whole season (outside of Rook's Rest) was really just a build-up for an ending montage that sets up S3. Makes it even more perplexing that they cut it to 8 episodes, 10 would've been perfect for this season to actually be able to reach a climax. Like what, are they just gonna OPEN next season with a huge battle?

also that flashforward vision to Dany and the white walkers was...lol. These writers can't help themselves, this show/material is strong enough to stand on its own. We ESPECIALLY don't need to be reminded of the very worst elements of that show

allegedly Zaslav told the writers to cut from 10 -> 8 eps at the last minute and the writers strike started soon after that so they had almost no time to adjust the season (: So rather than condensing they basically just had to chop off the intended ending

Explains a lot if so! These next two seasons are gonna be SO crammed now

I unfortunately read this years back when GRRM published it as "The Princess and the Queen" and then again when Fire and Blood came out, so I know what's to come, but I always said this story should be made into a trilogy or TV show of sorts back when I read it. This, is not what I was expecting.

lol I just realized I haven't even watched this ep yet. Sad how far my interest in this show has fallen. I think this season has been fine but clearly I'm not eager to rush to the next episode. Wouldn't have previously thought I'd let a season finale dangle for months without even realizing
